Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

It's like they think he's eating cheese sandwiches popping pimples in his mom's basement instead of an accomplished man with smarts and the ability to discern talent.

I don't think Stefanski and Hinkie are comparable. Ed knows his hoops, but being part of the brain trust that traded for Rudy Gay, and wanted to extend him...don't think he's a member of the calculator club

I didn't get a chance to properly celebrate this yesterday.

Pompey is a pretty paint-by-numbers writer. Decent enough guy, won't ruffle any feathers, and won't add 2+2 to get 34 like Mitchell did.

The only downside to this is that now I have to get Temple news from J-Mitch. But I couldn't be happier that they demoted that sad sack writer to the boring-ass Temple beat.

RUMORZ
The Philadelphia 76ers are one of several teams that are interested in acquiring a late first-round pick, according to sources close to the situation. If Philadelphia doesn’t select a center with the 11th pick, they may try to acquire one of the final picks in the first round to select a big. In recent weeks, they have expressed interest in a number of centers projected in that range such as Brazilian center Lucas Nogueira and French center Mouhammadou Jaiteh among others.

Multiple sources told FOX Sports Ohio the Philadelphia 76ers are high on Michael Carter-Williams, a 6-5 point guard from Syracuse. All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday is already on the roster, but the Sixers believe Carter-Williams could come off the bench and produce at both guard positions, sources said. The Sixers own the No. 11 overall pick.

that's exactly what this team needs to do, fill out its bench
I'm going to Radio Shack to buy one of those headsets like the broadcasters use. It seems as soon as you put them on, you get 100 times smarter.

Best move of the offseason so far is canning Mitchell. Anything they do from here is gravy.

probably McLemore as he looks to go to the Magic and everyone says they're trading Afflalo. I figure there's at least one more somewhere in there. Oladipo or Bennett maybe. Burke if he goes to the Kings
